Chapter 163: Golden Amber

  "There is a piece of amber here that is just right, and it's about 600 years old, which should meet your requirements. As for the fire coral and malachite leaves, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, we don't have any!" The old monk said with a frown.

  "Oh, none even under 200-300 years old?" Zhao Di asked with a hint of regret.

  The old monk shook his head and sighed, "These treasures are the most suitable single-attribute materials for making various magical instruments and treasures in Buddhism. Not only are they extremely rare, but also highly sought after. Once they appear, they are almost all divided up by existences like me. Those with slightly lower grades are often used by foundation-building disciples to refine top-grade magical instruments, so there is rarely any stock left."

  Zhao Di nodded slightly and smiled, saying: "Hehe, I'm not in a hurry either. This piece of 600-year-old golden amber, please let Master spare it for me! As for the fire coral and agate leaves, would you please help me keep an eye on them? If they come out, please keep them for me. In the next few years, I will come back to ask Master for guidance again!"

  "This is easy!" The old monk's eyebrows stretched out and his palms patted twice. Before long, a young monk came to the front of the two and bowed.

  The old monk whispered a few words to him, and the latter bowed his head and left. A moment later, he reappeared in front of the two with a pale yellow jade box about the size of several inches in his hands.

  The old monk lightly waved his sleeve, and the jade box gently flew in front of Zhao Di, with a friendly gesture indicating for him to open it.

  Zhao Di's finger pointed at the air, and the jade box opened by itself. Inside, there was a fist-sized pale golden semi-transparent object that resembled both glue and jade, which was indeed one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism - Amber. Its age also matched the 600 years mentioned by the old man.

  "I'm delighted to make your acquaintance, and our conversation has been most enjoyable. I'll let you have this piece of golden amber at cost price. All you need to pay is 15,000 spirit stones." The old monk said with a courteous smile.

  When he heard this, Zhao Di naturally wouldn't haggle over the price. He was satisfied with taking the jade box and the golden amber inside into his hands. He rushed to say "thank you, Master!" to the old monk, then took out a pile of mid-grade spirit stones and handed them over to him.

  The old monk didn't seem to have cleared up the number of spirit stones either, but with a big wave of his sleeve, all these spirit stones disappeared from sight.

  Zhao Di was taken aback for a moment, this old monk's magnanimity could be ranked among the top three of all the monks he had met in his life, and this kind of uninhibited temperament was somewhat unlike that of a Buddhist monk.

  "May I ask, Master, apart from this Penglai Market, are there any other places where one can find the Fire Coral or Malachite Leaf?" Zhao Di asked after putting away the jade box containing the Golden Amber into his storage bag.

  "This Buddhist treasure, other monks rarely use it. The Xuanzhou Immortal Island controlled by the evil sect may not have this thing flowing out, as for Fangzhang Immortal Island, the opportunity is also small! However, there is another place that may have this treasure flowing out!" The old monk said with a smile, looking at Zhao Di.

  "Is it the No. 1 Island of the Starry Sky that Master said?" Zhao Di's mouth slightly curved, guessing a sentence.

  "Not bad, exactly there!" The old monk praised with a clap of his hands.

  The first island of the Star Sea is the center of the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance, where the three major forces gather and exchange. Although it's a mixed bag, but it's extremely free and open, with the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance setting up some super-large shops and auction houses here, many treasures flow into the hands of various forces through this place.

  In this place, there is a possibility of finding treasures like fire coral.

  Especially some extremely valuable treasures, if they are put on sale in the market of the three major immortal islands, it is very likely that they will be affected by local forces and have to sell them at a low price or discount. Sometimes, there may even be treasures that are coveted by several major factions at the same time, and no matter which faction ultimately acquires them, they will inevitably offend other factions.

  If the treasure is handed over to the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance for auction, there will be no such worries. Not only can it be sold at a good price, but the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance will also strictly keep the seller's information confidential and only charge a small portion of the intermediary fee.

  Zhao Di had also heard that, in terms of the variety of goods and the scale of the shops, the largest market among the three major immortal islands was undoubtedly the Xingchenhai Market. Among them, the Penglai Market was slightly ahead. However, when it came to the best and top-grade treasures, they would only appear at auctions controlled by the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance, which were targeted at high-level cultivators. Even at these auctions, it was difficult to exchange ling stones for treasures, and most of the time, people would exchange goods for other goods. Only when one couldn't find the treasure they wanted through exchange would they reluctantly settle for exchanging their treasure for a large amount of ling stones.

  Zhao Di is now a Consolidated Dan stage cultivator, barely able to participate in some transactions or auctions targeting Consolidated Dan stage cultivators. With his family background, as long as he is cautious, there is still great hope that he can buy some good things!

  The old monk talked about some of the circumstances on this island, looking very familiar.

  Zhao Di listened with great interest, occasionally asking a few questions. Later, for some reason, the old monk somehow brought up alchemy and made a few casual comments that seemed to show he was quite knowledgeable about it as well.

  This surprised Zhao Di greatly, and he carefully exchanged insights and techniques on alchemy with the monk. The old monk did not expect that Zhao Di was also an expert in this field, some views and techniques were even unheard of by him who had lived for hundreds of years, and they were quite innovative, so their conversation became more enjoyable.

  Zhao also benefited greatly, and the old man was indeed knowledgeable and insightful. Many of the things he mentioned resonated with Zhao's own experiences, especially some concepts and methods that he had previously thought about vaguely, but when the old man articulated them, it was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck him.

  The two of them finally had a good talk and exchanged names after which Zhao Di bid farewell to the old man and left Galota.

  Zhao Di wandered around several other shops in Penglai Fang City that sold Buddhist-related treasures, but almost got nothing. It seems that if you want to get that fire coral and agate leaf, you may have to go to Island No. 1 to try your luck!

  Refining the Hunyuan Seven Stars Sword still requires some auxiliary materials, except for a few, the prices are not too expensive. Zhao Di circled around the market and soon purchased all the auxiliary materials that were not too many in quantity.

  In addition, the Lian Cheng specially made for You Lan and You Ruo's two sisters' use of Ning Huai Dan also requires a variety of raw materials, Zhao Di has also earned a lot.

  This way, he spent tens of thousands of spirit stones in the market again. If it weren't for his already having the cultivation base of the Congealing Dan stage, he wouldn't have dared to make such a large purchase!

  "Master, where are we going next? To Island No. 1 to look for some clues about the Fire Coral and the Agate Leaf?" asked Youlan softly in Zhao Di's mind.

  "Yi Hao Island is the destination, but since we've already arrived at Penglai Fairy Island, let's first go to Xi Xing Island. There's also a disciple I took in during my foundation-building period, wonder how he's doing now!" Zhao Di responded without hesitation.

  "Master also has a disciple! I've never heard Master mention it before!" The girl's surprised and delighted voice echoed in Zhao Di's mind, "Is this disciple a beautiful fairy-like girl or a talented genius cultivator? Otherwise, how could Master, who is a loose cultivator, take notice of them?"

  Zhao Di smiled slightly and said, "Neither! This disciple is a handsome young man with four spiritual roots. I took him as my apprentice just because of fate, and I didn't plan to keep him by my side all the time, so I rarely mention him."

  "A handsome young man? The master actually has such a hobby!" You Ruo said with an excited and surprised tone, and You Lan also burst out laughing.

  "Nonsense!" Zhao Di fell silent, refuted a sentence after, and no longer paid attention to the two women, went straight to the transmission array that could go to Xingxing Island.

  Zhao Di soon appeared on Xingxing Island.

  Although Xingxing Island is also a large island, it cannot be compared with Penglai Fairy Island. The masters above the Condensing Dan stage on the island are not particularly common, and most of them are the owners of several medium-sized islands nearby, as well as some disciples under Tian He, the owner of Xingxing Island. Therefore, when Zhao Di's cultivation appeared in the market of Xingxing Island, it immediately attracted the attention of many masters.
